Today was the final visit for a patient who had been having a smile makeover, in preparation for her daughters wedding next week. A FREE consultation had revealed that this lady would firstly need the combined treatment of Enlighten and Advanced Zoom whitening. Then after a week or so Dr. Abdah would change all of the old defective and decayed white fillings in the front of her mouth to new composite ones. The patient explained how happy that she was with the treatment so far and how white and shiny her teeth are! Dr. Abdah then cleaned out all of the old fillings, and prepared the teeth for the brand new ones. During the procedure Dr. Abdah decided that in order to get the utmost best results he would use the new Composite kit that he has, alongside the polish brought from the USA. I could not believe how those fillings had bonded with the existing teeth, I could not even see where the new fillings had been placed. We showed the patient the final result, she was so happy that she kissed Dr. Abdah with Joy. We wished the patient to enjoy her daughters wedding and she happily went on her way. Until next blog…Emma (Treatment Coordinator)

Mother of the Bride Makeover for her daughter’s wedding in Ely
Monday, August 10th, 2009A Patient drives from Newmarket for his Veneer preparation
Thursday, July 30th, 2009We had a gentleman come in last week for the first stage in his treatment plan, for cosmetic reasons he wanted a porcelain veneer on his upper right front tooth. Dr. Salim welcomed the patient to her surgery, to begin the preparation for a new veneer. After the initial impressions were taken Dr. Salim was then in a position to start preparing the tooth for the brand new veneer. The technique used by a dentist during a veneer preparation requires them to shape the tooth in a very conservative manner, making a 1-2mm space for the veneer. Once Dr. Salim successfully did this, it was time to make a decision on the colour of the veneer. Dr. Salim decided that in order to obtain the best results she would use the true shade device. Dr. Salim, the gentleman and myself mutually decided on the best colour match available. Dr. Salim then placed a temporary veneer over the tooth, until the patient returns in two weeks for the permanent veneer. Sometimes when conditions permit we can even do these veneers in one stage , i.e. on the same day with our state of the art CEREC technology. However in this particular case the decision was made to send it to the lab.
A patient travels from Cambourne to get Free advice on a new cerec inlay
Monday, July 27th, 2009A couple of weeks ago Dr. Abdah used the latest Zoom advanced Power technology to whiten a patient’s teeth. The patient was so happy with the results, that she kindly recommended her husband to come along to Dentastique for a free Consultation to discuss the condition of the teeth. During the free consultation it was obvious that the patient had a half broken tooth in the lower left side plus hairline cracks in the rest of the tooth. Dr. Abdah advised that the best treatment would be a cerec inlay. Cerec inlays are very strong and they also require minimal preparation of the existing tooth, and they bond to the tooth. Cerec inlays are also available in a variety of tooth coloured shades, so even aesthetically they look very pleasing. But best of all; it is done in one visit. The patient also had an old crown at the front of his mouth in need of replacing. The crown had a margin between the gum and the tooth, this is where the gum is receding and is showing a dark part of the tooth. Dr. Abdah advised the gentleman that he could make him a porcelain crown that would be beautifully matched to his existing teeth. Dr. Abdah and the patient have decided to start the treatment in a months time when the patient returns from his holiday.
